A night school has been organized here
working at the smelter. They have en-.

Water ia running in torrents down the
streets. The lower end of town is flooded,
residents being compelled to allow the

The best local talent is interested in the

The members of the a. 0. U. w. turned
out in q large body last evening to attend
the memorial services in honor of Father
Upchurch, the founder Of the order. The
services were held at the Christian Church,

delivered by Col. Bradshaw, of Butte, was
a mastery effort, and reflected much credit
upon that gentleman as an able speaker.
Mr.. D. Cohen has bought the entire stock
of general merchandise of w. B. Doddridse.
He will move his already large stock OF dry

place. Nh. Doddridge has accepted a posi-
ton with the Missouri Pacific railroad and
will leave for the scene of his duties soon.
Last Tuesday evening the spacious par
lors of Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Mahan were the
scene of one of the most brilliant M
recherche affairs that has ever been held in
this town. Tuesday evening is designated
and wholly appropriated to the reception
and entertainment of the friends of the
host and hostess of the Mahan residence,
other evenings of the week being appointed
by the fashionable element for the reception
of guests and the devotion of pleasure
among the society people of Anaconda.
Regarding the manner in which the joyous
throng we're entertained, it is quite unnec-
essarv to relate, as Mr.. and Mrs. Mahan
are too we'll and favorably known as &C
complished entertainers to enter into de-
tails on that score. Suffice it to say the
participants departed with the conclusion
that an exceptionally pleasant evening had
been passed and one which will long be
held in grateful remembrance of the accom-
plished and ever accommodating hostess.
"Domino-whist" and least off Jack" were
